De La Salle is recognised as a pioneer in the history of Western education. He introduced the concept of teaching students in age-classes and groups; he insisted that his Brothers teach their students in their native language; he established the first Training Colleges for teachers and developed management techniques for teachers and school administrators. De La Salle believed in a disciplined, person-centred approach to education. His Brothers were to be ‘brothers’ to their students. Teaching students the Christian message was to be done throughout the school programme, respecting their individuality and freedom, yet encouraging students to respond to the Lord’s message and at the same time develop their individual potential and so improve themselves and the world about them.
De La Salle College provides a Catholic education to 1000 boys from Years 7 to Year 13, founded on the values and teachings of our Founder, St John Baptiste De La Salle. We believe in an holistic education that focuses on the “head and heart” of every student and one that places God as the central point in their lives.
Our vision is to create great men of Faith, Service, Community and Excellence.
While there are many changes taking place within education, De La Salle embraces these within a framework of LaSallian values which are constant.
